Windows 7: How do i block a specific program from accessing the internet?

Hi everyone i'm having problems with this now i have Eset smart security witch manages the firewall
but of course i'm not sure if it's because of Eset but when i went to the advanced settings i only got these options.
There is no "rules" tab i don't know was this because of some updates or my antivirus or windows it's self
can anyone help me get the "Rules" Tab to apere or can anyone offer me a little application witch will do the trick?

What you need to do is to setup an outgoing rule, search for "firewall with advanced security" in start menu. The real list of rules is stored there, while the control panel is terribly crippled for control the built-in firewall.

Of course, if your antivirus includes a firewall by itself, you're probably being "protected" by that instead of Windows Firewall, so better look there first.

I assume if it's not available from the firewall interface itself then the AV is interfering or something is broken. I would save the AV config somewhere, then get rid of it entirely. Most mess up the system more than help anyway.
